May God have mercy on you.

I would think that someone who claims to have been through such a personal and painful experience would have learned compassion for others, not vengeance.

Regardless of your experience, or even those who claim to share your experiences, you are completely marginalizing the experiences of those who found Christ and mission through UBF. I am sure that you will respond with a speech about your dedication to "save" others--this is not necessary. Do you have no faith in God? Do you think God so weak that he would not be able to overcome the corruption of men?

The fact is that the work of God continues.
You forget, I think, that you do not simply attack a building, but you are attacking people who you don't even know, people who have done nothing to you, people who live productive lives in this society, people who have jobs, people who have children--children who have to hear your lies while they are watching tv after school, people who have families.

I understand, however, how much easier it is to vent into this faceless, anonymous space, where you don't have to face the reality of what your actions do to others. I understand what it would require of you to accept others as actual intelligent, free-thinking, responsible, and Christ-loving people and I understand that for you, as for others here, that would be impossible. You complain about a lack of fruitful discussion. But preclude that possibility when you begin with the presumption that the other party is a robot.

I hope that you find the peace you seek at the expense of no one else. May Christ heal all of your wounds.
